Without a clue (Deadly anthrax attacks, if the chief suspect didn't do it, who did?)

"...Steven J. Hatfill, an ingenious doctor..."

Don't think this is right. He is a PhD, and I think I even remember that his degree was, maybe, not completed? Don't know that for sure, but the statement makes him sound like a medical doctor which he certainly is not. Odd.

Whatever else, the "timeline" is in error. Absolutely no one knows WHEN any of the letters were entered into the mail. All that is known is when some of the letters were canceled!

Given the myriad of ways in which single-piece rate First-Class Mail can be delayed, misrouted and "lost" until it finally reaches the 010 operation, there is no evidence to demonstrate that they were not all mailed September 7, 2001 at 6 PM (or thereabouts) after the last prayer of the day down at the local mosque used by the terrorist team in Boca Raton, FL.

My guess is that Hatfill either:

1) Is guilty

- or -

2) Is playing along to deflect attention from Iraq to prevent panic.

Otherwise, he'd be suing someone.

Hatfill has nothing to do with it. Rosenberg suspects that some of her friends do so she's been running interference for them.

Some of her "friends" are in the FBI and they suspect each other. Then there's an extreme leftwing gang in the top levels of USPS management who also suspect some of their ideological soulmates, if not personal associates from the '60s, did it and they have made no serious demand that the FBI investigate the full spectrum of possibilities in this case.

The trail grows cold while the FBI continues to fiddle with Hatfill.

"My whole point was to make certain they were investigating some evidence that I learnt about from people with more knowledge than I in the case but who couldn't talk."

They talked to Rosenberg, who talked and Rosenberg has no legal standing to withhold their names. This makes it sound as if the FBI went chasing after hearsay, without checking the sources.

Irene,

Dr. Steven Hatfill IS a medical doctor. He got his MD in Africa. He does NOT have a PhD. He did his PhD thesis, but it was turned down and he never reapplied.

That is absolute nonsense. The first letters were mailed in the Trenton-Princeton vicinity sometime between early afternoon on the 17th of September and the first pickup on the 18th. There's no way they could have been mailed in Florida and have been postmarked in Trenton.

The second mailing is less precise. They were mailed in the Trenton-Princeton area sometime after the last pickup on Saturday October 6th and the first pickup on October 9th.

Postmarking letters is and always has been done in a very precise way because of all the mail which depends upon an accurate postmark.

When mail gets lost, it gets lost after it is postmarked.

Obviously you know nothing of postal operations.

[TrebleRebel]

Where did you learn this?

[TrebleRebel]

Maybe Ed is consulting the Postmaster General to find out what he's learned from popular media.....

[okie01]

That is absolute nonsense.

You stepped in it, Ed.

There are people on here -- one in particular -- who know a helluva lot more than you about the circulation pattern of U.S. mail. Or me, for that matter.

[okie01]

Oh. I see he's already found you...

"One has to ponder the likelihood that a truly guilty person of interest would sue the Attorney General of the United States; arguably one of the most brazen legal maneuvers in the history of Jurisprudence.

Liken the maneuver to the victim of a shoot-to-kill manhunt glaring defiantly up a laser beam, the red dot bouncing between his eyes, while mouthing defiant expletives at the man behind the rifle scope. One would have to be really stupid, severely suicidal or possessive of the certain knowledge that the rifle is devoid of live ammunition."

>> America's two-year investigation of deadly anthrax attacks has come up empty-handed. If the chief suspect didn't do it, who did?

I continually believe the anthrax letters were a trial run by terrorists. Why have then not followed up? Patience. Terrorists have proven their patience over and over again. Look at how long they planned the 9/11 attacks. They are waiting for the right moment for the anthrax attack -- where we least expect it. Possible scenerios: simultaneous aerosol spraying in all the major subways, massive spraying in and around the nation's capital, and light plane spraying over major population centers during rush hour. Just my hunch.

How do we stop it? Export all muslims. So far that is the only solution I see.

Tests Show Anthrax Was False Alarm
Several Post Offices Close Amid Health Scare

WASHINGTON -- Post offices in the Washington area were given the all-clear Friday evening after an anthrax scare closed several postal facilities for the day.

Postal administrators said final tests on mail samples show no active anthrax at the Naval postal facility where the possible spores were first detected.

Postal administrators said they are not sure yet, but they think the initial tests may have been triggered by dead spores.

The scare started Wednesday when a sample of mail tested positive for a very small amount of anthrax. That mail was retested at Fort Detrick and returned positive results again.

As a precaution, 11 post offices in D.C. were closed, including the D Street processing center, which distributes mail to many federal offices. Because of the closure, many key federal offices and buildings did not get mail on Friday.

Postal employees were also given antibiotics, but no illnesses were reported.

Two postal facilities will reopen Friday night. The other nine that were closed will open Saturday morning.

The post office stands behind its decision to close 11 facilities. A spokesman said the decision was made with the safety of employees and customers in mind.

Yep.
